Why HIGH CARB is better than HIGH FAT

When you eat high fat/low carb, your muscles are depleted of glycogen. Your workout suffers and your body consumes protein to make up for the glucose deficiency. You lose a lot of muscle.

When you eat high carb/low fat, the majority of the carbs are stored as muscle glycogen which allows you to exercise better. Protein is spared and can be used for repair. The insulin from the carbs helps create an anabolic environment.

But either way, calories matter. But high carb is better for weight loss while exercising.

You do realize that a once per week re-feed is enough for most dieters, and timed carb dieting works for competitive bodybuilders and powerlifters.

If you're that worried about it, spike insulin once a day for a refeed. It's not a big deal. No reason to go out and eat 300g of carbs, that's for sure.

Blanket statements like this show ignorance because anyone who's been around the block for a while in the body composition game knows that you have to literally play chess with the body's checks and balances.
